Understood. I can't exactly criticize you for not having time when I have little of my own to offer. Still, I would suggest if you have even a bit extra, trying to prioritize such that a bit is afforded to the bug tracker. The avr-libc tracker gets very few bugs, there were only two for the entire month of July, it doesn't take very long to just assign a priority and show that the bug has been seen.
I wonder if you'd be willing to accept a bit of help with the bug tracker. I know we don't know each other and you have no reason to trust me, but responding to and triaging new bugs on the avr-libc tracker, especially given the infrequency, is definitely something I could find time for.
